Kicking off the Symposium at 1 p.m. (CDT), Monday, Nov. 1, is Corey Perlman, owner of Impact Social Inc., who will present Digital Marketing Masterclass and talk about how to discover digital footprint holes that may be sabotaging sales and pushing prospects to the competition. Immediately following that session will be a panel of high-powered industry executives who will discuss successes and lessons learned from the pandemic and its effect on business, as well as plans for what comes next.

Also on Monday is an ALA Women in Lighting special presentation featuring professional speaker, comedian, and author Christina Irene who talks about how to eliminate internal barriers. This event includes networking breakout sessions and valuable prizes donated by ALA-member manufacturers.
